Authors note: I really don't have anything to say. Oh but when I get my hands on a scanner I'm going to post a pic of Sorasaki. I usually just use my camera but I worked to hard on it to just use that.

p.s. this * will indicate an explanation of the word, phase, ext. will be at the bottom just before the Authors note 3

Disclaimers: I don't own anything except my O.C.(S) and the plot. 3 (or any song if i ever use one. Which I'll indicate as mine or someone else)

SORASAKI'S PROV:

"..." I flop down on the large bed after a good ten minutes of pacing. Carmine had left by now to go have tea in the garden. I stare up at the large canopy covering the bed.

I hear small footsteps echo down the hallway. Glancing up just in time to hear the small tap on the door. "yes?"

no response...

"come in!" I yell. Siting up and crossing my legs as best I could in this dumb dress

"Mrs. Whitewood, may I ask who that handsome young man is? I ran into him on my way to the kitchen this morning and he asked me where the tea was... I told him..." the short blond gasps "should I not have?" … shes such a worry wort...

"its fine. And PLEASE never call me that again" urg Whitewood...the name sent shivers down my spine. " please call me by my maiden name, if not my own name. Whitewood... I fell nasty bowing to the name but to sport it in place of my own. Its a disgrace as a Kitsune in my eyes..."

the little women sighs. Like always she ask what I wish for breakfast, and like always she stand as far from me as she can.

"mama." I glance at her, "i mean Mrs. Miyamoto*. if I might say... please do keep your windows shut. We must keep as little light, while the guest are here, as possible from coming in. less sunlight means less shadows." she whispers cautiously taking slow steps to the window to shut the certain. " you need to be careful. if not... it could bring our castle to its doom. The knight, even if she takes on the position of queen as well, should protect the king, not give him strife ..." funny, I must be knight and queen position? I've always hated chest... there is to much hardship in the world to bother with a game of war for fun... though I hear its good for reading your opponent

I watch carefully, contemplating this new information, as her delicate hands slide over the curtains and pull them shut. The shadow I cast on the bed fades away.

I stare , in thought, at the curtains which now counseled my precious cherry blossom trees from my view...

I sigh, standing up this is not my true palace. This is not MY game. I am merely another peace to carmines game... for now

Hmm if we do have to start a game it seems I'm going to have my work cut out for me I sigh can I really beat that man though? With my contract like it is...?

SEBASTIAN PROV:

I glance up when I fell Sorasak's presence linger closer.

"you know, the maid is a worry wort. Next time you see her how bough actually INTRODUCING yourself." she asks walking to the bowl of fruit and grabbing an orange.

"it wouldn't have made much of a difference would it? If she knew I was the young masters servant she probably would have been MORE cautious." I state turning back to the tea I was making. "where is the cake ingredient?"

"cabinet? Where else would it be?" she raises a eyebrow at me as she leans against the counter and begins to peel her orange.

I raise an eyebrow in return "WHAT cabinet?"

deep blue eyes glare at me "what do you mean WHAT cabinet? That cab-" she turns to point at the gaping whole in the wall. She jaw drops "damn it ALL!" her fist tightens crushing the orange.

I couldn't help but snicker at this point as golden brown hair whips around as she trows the orange at the wall and grabs a towel.

" I swear when I get my hands on the idiot who made this mess I'm gonna wring their neck!" she storms out of the kitchen.

I sigh turning back to the tea and pouring it into the porcelain teapot. I begin to place the pot and cups on the tray when I load crash echos through the hall "son of a-" I hear Sorasaki scream.

I snicker as I grab the tray and begin walking to the young masters room.

"Whats all that noise about?" the young master asks while siting on the guest bed reading.

"seems someone destroyed the kitchen during the night." I say shutting the door.

"last night? I didn't hear anything..." Ciel wonders.

"neither did I," Ciel's eye widens as I walk over to him, "there was presences but who ever did it must have suppressed the sound."

Ciel sits silently watching me for a moment then nods "do you have any idea what IT was?"

I ponder this for a moment "most likely the figure I sensed yesterday on my way with Sorasaki to the room I'm staying in..." I offer the young master his tea

"hmm speaking of which do you have any idea what yet what Mrs. Whitewood IS?" he asks as he grabs the tea cup from my hands.

"actually I do." I smile thinking back to the kitchen. For such a cunning demon they really are careless when it comes to their true identity... "I hadn't noticed because last night it was already to dark for shadows and what shadows there were were to blurry to make out-"

"please just get to the point. What is so special about her shadow?"

"well you see young master..." I grin, "for her kind it is VERY important. It is the best give away to what they truly are. A Kitsune's shadow, even while human, is that of a fox."

"ah a Kitsune? Makes since, she is Japaneses and she resembles one, no?" ciel takes a sip of tea contemplating this new peace of information. "how exactly could you use this against her?"

"many ways, foxes are very light weight drinkers. And tend to transform even by the littlest think like hot water."

"i see. Well... I think its time we get down to business. Where is Carmine?" Ciel asks as he gets off the bed and I begin to dress him.

"he just came in from the garden"

"... come then. Its about time I see if we will make a enemy or ally out of them."

"yes my lord"

SORASAKI'S PROV:

that peace of crap. I'm gonna kill him... I grown as I walk the halls looking for any hint of cherries in the air. None he must have left already...

I grown when I sense another presence heading my way. I straiten my dress and turn the corner to see my 'dear' husband caring a book in hand.

"Sorasaki, why is there a hole in the kitchen wall?"Carmine asks sweat dropping.

"my little buddy dropped by last night." I muss felling in step with Carmine as we walk to the study.

"now of all times?" carmine asks going for my waist. I slap his hand off.

"the gig is up no need to pretend any more." I growl

he just looks at me. I fell a sharp pain in my heart when I see a coffin flash through my head. I avert my eyes and speed up. Carmine notices my quicken of pace and increases his too.

~...~

The two of us sit on the love seat Carmine reading and I continuing my search for his sent.

I fell our quest walking this way. Hmm...

The door slowly opens and a freshly dressed Ciel walks in the small room fallowed by Sebastian. I'm almost shocked when I see Ciel's eye wander over to me. He seemed to be looking for something. I tense, my eyes jerking over to meet Sebastian's. What did he tell him?

"good morning, Phantomhive. I hope you slept well?" Carmine stands to greet his guest while I remain sitting on the couch glaring at the tall dark man. I watch him only for a second more before I see Ciel glance over at me again.

I look over to see the window's curtain firmly shut. My ears twitch as I hear Sebastian take his place in the corner by the fire place again.

"so Mr. Whitewood why don't we get down to the real reason I'm here?" Ciel asks sitting down on the chair opposite us while carmine sits back down beside me.

"yes, you would like to strike a partnership no?" Carmine asks crossing his legs.

"my company would very much benefit from it."

"yes and mine also. I think many of your products would go over nicely with many Americans. Many of the elders there still practice many English customs... though I don't think many Japanese would care much for your products. Anyways I think they are having a slight... problem over there at the moment." carmine ponders aloud how much he TRULY would benefit from a partnership with the young boy.

As they continue to talk I resume my search if he is here I have to make sure I get to him before Sebastian. If Eiji** were to know that I'm housing a hell demon hes going to flip out and... I glance over at Carmine if my bound really is weakening I don't think it will be safe to have another Kitsune around him.

I sigh when I realize something that bastard may have done more trouble then I thought

I turn to look at Sebastian

'you know what I am don't you?' I mouth

'yes' he grins at me.

'the hole in the wall? You saw my shadow?'

Sebastian nods 'Kitsunes are very careless'

I glare this is great now he's got a good 3 more thing he can use against us (me in particular)... I glance up to see the two still talking. Carmine, you have to make this partnership. Starting a game against them would be asking for hell...

*Miyamoto: Japanese; true palace

**Eiji: Japanese; eternity
